Day 8:  Yippee, the chicks got a new house today!! 

They've been scratching and running around having fun!

The chicks were outgrowing their 10 gal aquarium (they didn't really g-r-o-w out of it, but needed room for more activity), so we built them a new home this morning.  It's almost 4 feet long, 20 inches wide and 14 inches high, made of wood, lined with tyvek, with a removable lid.  With a little rearranging, it fit where the aquarium was, with the heat lamp overhead.  Sprinkles, the hampster, is right next door to the chicks.  Thank you Daddy for making this nice house!! 

Blackie says this huge new house has tired me right out!
